Pune district including the Pimpri-Chinchwad auto belt has about 1.3 lakh registered MSMEs and over 700 large scale units
MSMEs in Pune are hoping the the State government takes steps to increase oxygen supply as manufacturing is hit due to shortage. As oxygen is increasingly being diverted to meet the critical needs for Covid-affected, industrial units are being starved of oxygen.
“During 2020 lockdowns the Pimpri-Chinchwad Small Industries Association (PCSIA) had demanded that the government must set up a 100-tonne oxygen plant. But the demand was not fulfilled. Covid-19 patients need oxygen in a huge quantity and we are not saying that industries should get oxygen by reducing supply to hospitals. But at the same it must be understood that industries are facing major problems to function” said Sandeep Belsare President of PCSIA.
